Programming Commands
CALCulate2 Subsystem
WLIMit:STARt[:WAVelength]
Syntax
CALCulate2:WLIMit:STARt[:WAVelength] {?|{<real> | MINimum | MAXimum}}
< real > is a wavenumber value that is within the following limits:
Constant Description
MINimum 700.0 nm
MAXimum wavelength limit stop value
Attribute
Summary Non-sequential command
Preset State: 700 nm
*RST State: 700 nm
SCPI Compliance: instrument specific
Description This command sets the starting range for the wavelength limit. The start
wavelength value must be less than or equal to the stop wavelength value or the
start wavelength will be clipped to the stop wavelength and a “Data out of
range” error will be generated. Setting the start wavelength is equivalent to
setting the stop frequency/wavenumber because of the inverse relationship of
frequency to wavelength. The default units for the <
real > parameter are
meters.
Non-sequential command
Always use an *OPC? query or a *WAI command to ensure that this command has the
time to complete before sending any more commands to the instrument.
